What Are The Symptoms Of A Potentially Defective Depuy Hip Implant?

Most patients who received a DePuy hip implant recovered from the initial surgery without incident. Many patients were weight-bearing, even without physical therapy, in 1-2 weeks. However, over the course of the next several years, many patients began to experience the following symptoms:

hip, leg, groin and low back pain;

swelling of the hip and upper leg;

hip weakness;

crepitus (a clicking, grinding, or popping sensation under the skin);

limping;

metallosis;

difficulty walking;

difficultly standing;

difficulty sitting; and

elevated levels of metal in the blood (cobalt and chromium).
